It’s the season when much of the village of Vernon Hills is caught up in Cougar Fever. The Vernon Hills High School Cougars are playing football, and Rust-Oleum Stadium is the place to be on Friday nights.  Read the rest of this entry »

Vernon Hills Cougars Football Team Hopes to Continue Winning Streak this Saturday in the IHSA Quarterfinal Playoff Game!

After last weekend’s win over Tinley Park,  the IHSA playoffs continue for the Vernon Hills Cougars at home this Saturday at 1:00pm.  The Cougars will be playing the Kaneland Knights and if the Cougars continue their fantastic level of play I expect the winning streak will continue.

Tickets for the game are $6 and can be bought either in advance at the Vernon Hills High School athletic office or at the gate prior to gametime (gates will open at noon on game day).  As this is an IHSA event, not a Vernon Hills High School event, passes for the regular game season are not valid for these playoff games.

Take advantage of this great November weather, enjoy some quality family time and cheer on your local high school as they play their way to another win this Saturday!

The Vernon Hills Cougars Jumpstart the 2010 High School Football Season with a Bang!

Is there anything better than sitting with your friends and neighbors cheering on the local high school football team?  Not when that football team is the Vernon Hills Cougars and they shut-out Niles West in the first game of the season 45 – 0.  It was rumored at the start of the season that this years team was outstanding and they didn’t fail to deliver.  The Cougars scored on their first seven possessions and led  39-0 lead by halftime.

 Vernon Hills Schools- Which one is right for you?

Whether you have children or not, buying a home in a community with good schools is important. It not only adds value to your property, but also is an attractive feature when and if you decide to sell. There are plenty of resources available to get information about schools within the communities you are considering. Various Internet sites offer school reports and profiles. They provide statistical data such as graduation rates, college-bound percentages, and standardized test scores.  In addition to these reports, many schools have their own websites you can peruse. Most importantly   you can always talk to people in the area or take a tour of the school. 

Vernon Hills  local schools are some of the finest in the country.  People are drawn to the Vernon Hills area from all over because of the excellent schools. The local Vernon Hills schools consistently do extremely on national and local tests and have the support of the community. There is a wide range of extracurricular activities available to the students. I will be glad to set up a tour or point you in the right direction to get your school questions answered. .

Local General School Resources
One of the most common requests I receive from my clients is for information to compare schools. The best place to start is probably the mandatory Illinois school report cards which compare all schools on a number of variables. I have also included links to the Illinois High School Association and the Illinois Elementary School association which cover extracurricular competitions including sports and other competitive activities.
